Dear Antonio,
where do we find information about "views" and structured programming applied
to HTML.
Are there rules how to format the source code.

Thank you in advance
Otto

Dear Otto,

This is the basic structure for a HTML page:

<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>

So our default.view using mod_harbour is going to be:

default.view

Code: Select all Expand view: {{View("head")}} {{View("body")}}

As mod_harbour is able to build "nested" views, now we need to define head.view and body.view

head.view

Code: Select all Expand view: <html> <head> </head>

body.view

Code: Select all Expand view: <body> </body> </html>

From mod_harbour we do:
View( "default" )

And mod_harbour will put all the parts together. Now lets say we want to have a menu and a browse:
body.view

Code: Select all Expand view: <body> {{View("menu")}} {{View("browse")}} </body> </html>

Now we create a menu.view and a browse.view

This way all the complexity of a HTML page (lots of tags, very easy to make a mistake) is structured in small and easy to manage views

This is the beauty and the power of using mod_harbour Views engine :-)

Hi Antonio ,

I know little bit JSP how it works in the JSP we can AJAX to call URL and the web server execute the relevant code for the given URL.

How we can co-relate the functionality int he mod_harbour ? Could you please provide some examples ?

Thanks
Shridhar

Dear Antonio,
would you be so kind to post the source code corresponding to the description too.
I mean the folder containing the files.
Do we call this project?
Best regards
Otto

Dear Antonio,
{{View("browse")}}
is this the same as
include('browse.view')

Otto,

function View() is a very powerful engine to manage views "recursively". It is not the same as include.
This function will become part of mod_harbour soon... (once we decide if "/views/" should be a parameter also, and if "view" should be hardcoded or not...)

Code: Select all Expand view: function View( cName ) local cData if File( hb_GetEnv( "PRGPATH" ) + "/views/" + cName + ".view" ) cData = MemoRead( hb_GetEnv( "PRGPATH" ) + "/views/" + cName + ".view" ) while ReplaceBlocks( @cData, "{{", "}}" ) end else cData = "<h2>" + cName + " not found!</h2>" endif return cData

Antonio,
could you please continue the lesson for us from this tread?

Dear Antonio,
I see on TWeb that we can have
<%prg
return Harbour code
%>
in views.
Is this withour TView class possible.
Best regards
Otto
